Documentation for the Drag and Drop Robot example.

Checked that it doesn't introduce qdoc errors. Discussed with David
and Martin; recommendation was to commit first and fix any errors via
review in later commits.

     \title Drag and Drop Robot Example
 
-    This GraphicsView example shows how to implement drag and drop in
-    a QGraphicsItem subclass, as well as how to animate items using
-    QGraphicsItemAnimation and QTimeLine.
+    This GraphicsView example shows how to implement Drag and Drop in a
+    QGraphicsItem subclass, as well as how to animate items using Qt's
+    \l{Animation Framework}.
 
     \image dragdroprobot-example.png
+
+    Graphics View provides the QGraphicsScene class for managing and
+    interacting with a large number of custom-made 2D graphical items derived
+    from the QGraphicsItem class, and a QGraphicsView widget for visualizing
+    the items, with support for zooming and rotation.
+
+    This example consists of a \c Robot class, a \c ColorItem class, and a main
+    function: the \c Robot class describes a simple robot consisting of several
+    \c RobotPart derived limbs, including \c RobotHead and \c RobotLimb, the \c
+    ColorItem class provides a draggable colored ellipse, and the \c main()
+    function provides the main application window.
+
+    We will first review the \c Robot class to see how to assemble the
+    different parts so that they can be individually rotated and animated using
+    QPropertyAnimation, and we will then review the \c ColorItem class to
+    demonstrate how to implement Drag and Drop between items. Finally we will
+    review the main() function to see how we can put all the pieces together,
+    to form the final application.
+
+    \section1 Robot Class Definition
+
+    The robot consists of three main classes: the \c RobotHead, the \c
+    RobotTorso, and the \c RobotLimb, which is used for the upper and lower
+    arms and legs. All parts derive from the \c RobotPart class, which in turn
+    inherits \c QGraphicsObject. The \c Robot class itself has no visual
+    appearance and serves only as a root node for the robot.
+
+    Let's start with the \c RobotPart class declaration.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.h 0
+
+    This base class inherits QGraphicsObject. QGraphicsObject provides signals
+    and slots through inheriting QObject, and it also declares QGraphicsItem's
+    properties using Q_PROPERTY, which makes the properties accessible for
+    QPropertyAnimation.
+
+    RobotPart also implements the three most important event handlers for
+    accepting drop events:
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::dragEnterEvent()}{dragEnterEvent()},
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::dragLeaveEvent()}{dragLeaveEvent()}, and
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::dropEvent()}{dropEvent()}.
+
+    The color is stored as a member variable, along with the \c dragOver
+    variable, which we will use later to indicate visually that the limb can
+    accept colors that are is dragged onto it.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 0
+
+    \c RobotPart's constructor initializes the dragOver member and sets the
+    color to Qt::lightGray. In the constructor body we enable support for
+    accepting drop events by calling
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::setAcceptDrops()}{setAcceptDrops(true)}.
+
+    The rest of this class's implementation is to support Drag and Drop.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 1
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::dragEnterEvent()}{dragEnterEvent()} handler is called
+    when a Drag and Drop element is dragged into the robot part's area.
+
+    The handler implementation determines whether or not this item as a whole
+    can accept the mime data assiciated with the incoming drag object. \c
+    RobotPart provides a base behavior for all parts that accepts color drops.
+    So if the incoming drag object contains a color, the event is accepted, we
+    set \c dragOver to \c true and call update() to help provide positive
+    visual feedback to the user; otherwise the event is ignored, which in turn
+    allows the event to propagate to parent elements.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 2
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::dragLeaveEvent()}{dragLeaveEvent()} handler is called
+    when a Drag and Drop element is dragged away from the robot part's area.
+    Our implementation simply resets \e dragOver to false and calls
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::update()}{update()} to help provide visual feedback that
+    the drag has left this item.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 3
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::dropEvent()}{dropEvent()} handler is called when a
+    Drag and Drop element is dropped onto an item (i.e., when the mouse button
+    is released over the item while dragging).
+
+    We reset \c dragOver to false, assign the item's new color, and call
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::update()}{update()}.
+
+    The declaration and implementation of \c RobotHead, \c RobotTorso, and \c
+    RobotLimb are practically identical. We will review \c RobotHead in detail,
+    as this class has one minor difference, and leave the other classes as an
+    exercise for the reader.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.h 1
+
+    The \c RobotHead class inherits \c RobotPart and provides the necessary
+    implementations of \l{QGraphicsItem::boundingRect()}{boundingRect()} and
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::paint()}{paint()}. It also reimplements
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::dragEnterEvent()}{dragEnterEvent()} and dropEvent() to
+    provide special handling of image drops.
+
+    The class contains a private pixmap member that we can use to implement
+    support for accepting image drops.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 4
+
+    \c RobotHead has a rather plain constructor that simply forwards to
+    \c RobotPart's constructor.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 5
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::boundingRect()}{boundingRect()} reimplementation
+    returns the extents for the head. Because we want the center of rotation to
+    be the bottom center of the item, we have chosen a bounding rectangle that
+    starts at (-15, -50) and extends to 30 units wide and 50 units tall. When
+    rotating the head, the "neck" will stay still while the top of the head
+    tilts from side to side.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 6
+
+    In \l{QGraphicsItem::paint()}{paint()} we draw the actual head. The
+    implementation is split into two sections; if an image has been dropped
+    onto the head, we draw the image, otherwise we draw a round rectangular
+    robot head with simple vector graphics.
+
+    For performance reasons, depending on the complexity of what is painted, it
+    can often be faster to draw the head as an image rather than using a
+    sequence of vector operations.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 7
+
+    The robot head can accept image drops. In order to support this, its
+    reimplementation of \l{QGraphicsItem::dragEnterEvent()}{dragEnterEvent()}
+    checks if the drag object contains image data, and if it does, then the
+    event is accepted. Otherwise we fall back to the base \c RobotPart
+    implementation.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 8
+
+    To follow up on image support, we must also implement
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::dropEvent()}{dropEvent()}. We check if the drag object
+    contains image data, and if it does, we store this data as a member pixmap
+    and call \l{QGraphicsItem::update()}{update()}. This pixmap is used inside
+    the \l{QGraphicsItem::paint()}{paint()} implementation that we reviewed
+    before.
+
+    \c RobotTorso and \c RobotLimb are similar to \c RobotHead, so let's
+    skip directly to the \c Robot class.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.h 4
+
+    The \c Robot class also inherits \c RobotPart, and like the other parts it
+    also implements \l{QGraphicsItem::boundingRect()}{boundingRect()} and
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::paint()}{paint()}. It provides a rather special
+    implementation, though:
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 9
+
+    Because the \c Robot class is only used as a base node for the rest of the
+    robot, it has no visual representation. Its
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::boundingRect()}{boundingRect()} implementation can
+    therefore return a null QRectF, and its paint() function does nothing.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 10
+
+    The constuctor starts by setting the flag
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::ItemHasNoContents}{ItemHasNoContents}, which is a minor
+    optimization for items that have no visual appearance.
+
+    We then construct all the robot parts (head, torso, and upper/lower arms
+    and legs). The stacking order is very important, and we use the
+    parent-child hierarchy to ensure the elements rotate and move properly. We
+    construct the torso first, as this is the root element. We then construct
+    the head and pass the torso to \c HeadItem's constructor. This will make
+    the head a child of the torso; if you rotate the torso, the head will
+    follow. The same pattern is applied to the rest of the limbs.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 11
+
+    Each robot part is carefully positioned. For example, the upper left arm is
+    moved precisely to the top-left area of the torso, and the upper right arm
+    is moved to the top-right area.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 12
+
+    The next section creates all animation objects. This snippet shows the two
+    animations that operate on the head's scale and rotation. The two
+    QPropertyAnimation instances simply set the object, property, and
+    respective start and end values.
+
+    All animations are controlled by one top-level parallel animation group.
+    The scale and rotation animations are added to this group.
+
+    The rest of the animations are defined in a similar way.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/robot.cpp 13
+
+    Finally we set an easing curve and duration on each animation, ensure the
+    toplevel animation group loops forever, and start the toplevel animation.
+
+    \section1 ColorItem Class Definition
+
+    The \c ColorItem class represents a circular item that can be pressed to
+    drag colors onto robot parts.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.h 0
+
+    This class is very simple. It does not use animations, and has no need for
+    properties nor signals and slots, so to save resources, it's most natural
+    that it inherits QGraphicsItem (as opposed to QGraphicsObject).
+
+    It declares the mandatory \l{QGraphicsItem::boundingRect()}{boundingRect()}
+    and \l{QGraphicsItem::paint()}{paint()} functions, and adds
+    reimplementations of
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::mousePressEvent()}{mousePressEvent()},
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::mouseMoveEvent()}{mouseMoveEvent()}, and
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::mouseReleaseEvent()}{mouseReleaseEvent()}. It contains a
+    single private color member.
+
+    Let's take a look at its implementation.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 0
+
+    \c ColorItem's constructor assigns an opaque random color to its color
+    member by making use of qrand(). For improved usability, it assigns a
+    tooltip that provides a useful hint to the user, and it also sets a
+    suitable cursor. This ensures that the cursor will chance to
+    Qt::OpenHandCursor when the mouse pointer hovers over the item.
+
+    Finally, we call
+    \l{QGraphicsItem::setAcceptedMouseButtons()}{setAcceptedMouseButtons()} to
+    ensure that this item can only process Qt::LeftButton. This simplifies the
+    mouse event handlers greatly, as we can always assume that only the left
+    mouse button is pressed and released.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 1
+
+    The item's bounding rect is a fixed 30x30 units centered around the item's
+    origin (0, 0), and adjusted by 0.5 units in all directions to allow a
+    scalable pen to draw its outline. For a final visual touch the bounds
+    also compensate with a few units down and to the right to make room
+    for a simple dropshadow.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 2
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::paint()}{paint()} implementation draws an ellipse
+    with a 1-unit black outline, a plain color fill, and a dark gray
+    dropshadow.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 3
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::mousePressEvent()}{mousePressEvent()} handler is
+    called when you press the mouse button inside the item's area. Our
+    implementation simply sets the cursor to Qt::ClosedHandCursor.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 4
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::mouseReleaseEvent()}{mouseReleaseEvent()} handler is
+    called when you release the mouse button after having pressed it inside an
+    item's area. Our implementation sets the cursor back to Qt::OpenHandCursor.
+    The mouse press and release event handlers together provide useful visual
+    feedback to the user: when you move the mouse pointer over a \c CircleItem,
+    the cursor changes to an open hand. Pressing the item will show a closed
+    hand cursor. Releasing will restore to an open hand cursor again.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 5
+
+    The \l{QGraphicsItem::mouseMoveEvent()}{mouseMoveEvent()} handler is called
+    when you move the mouse around after pressing the mouse button inside the
+    \c ColorItem's area. This implementation provides the most important piece
+    of logic for \c CircleItem: the code that starts and manages drags.
+
+    The implementation starts by checking if the mouse has been dragged far
+    enough to eliminate mouse jitter noise. We only want to start a drag if the
+    mouse has been dragged farther than the application start drag distance.
+
+    Continuing, we create a QDrag object, passing the event
+    \l{QGraphicsSceneEvent::widget()}{widget} (i.e., the QGraphicsView
+    viewport) to its constructor. Qt will ensure that this object is deleted at
+    the right time. We also create a QMimeData instance that can contain our
+    color or image data, and assign this to the drag object.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 6
+
+    This snippet has a somewhat random outcome: once in a while, a special
+    image is assigned to the drag object's mime data. The pixmap is also
+    assiged as the drag object's pixmap. This will ensure that you can see the
+    image that is being dragged as a pixmap under the mouse cursor.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 7
+
+    Otherwise, and this is the most common outcome, a simple color is assigned
+    to the drag object's mime data. We render this \c ColorItem into a new
+    pixmap to give the user visual feedback that the color is being "dragged".
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/coloritem.cpp 8
+
+    Finally we execute the drag. QDrag::exec() will reenter the event loop, and
+    only exit if the drag has either been dropped, or canceled. In any case we
+    reset the cursor to Qt::OpenHandCursor.
+
+    \section1 The main() Function
+
+    Now that the \c Robot and \c ColorItem classes are complete, we can put all
+    the pieces together inside the main() function.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/main.cpp 0
+
+    We start off by constructing QApplication, and initializing the random
+    number generator. This ensures that the color items have different colors
+    every time the application starts.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/main.cpp 1
+
+    We construct a fixed size scene, and create 10 \c ColorItem instances
+    arranged in a circle. Each item is added to the scene.
+
+    In the center of this circle we create one \c Robot instance. The
+    robot is scaled and moved up a few units. It is then added to the scene.
+
+    \snippet examples/graphicsview/dragdroprobot/main.cpp 2
+
+    Finally we create a QGraphicsView window, and assign the scene to it.
+
+    For increased visual quality, we enable antialiasing. We also choose to use
+    bounding rectangle updates to simplify visual update handling.
+    The view is given a fixed sand-colored background, and a window title.
+
+    We then show the view. The animations start immediately after
+    control enters the event loop.
